Disconnect chargers from power sources when not in use.
Use batteries only for their intended purpose.
Ensure access to emergency services
Emergency calls from your
Device may not be possible in some areas or
circumstances. Before travelling in remote or undeveloped areas, plan an
alternate method of contacting emergency services personnel.
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed
the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields)
recommended by international guidelines. The guidelines were developed by an
independent scientific organisation (ICNIRP) and include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 1.6 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
During use, the actual SAR value for this device is usually well below the value
stated above. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to minimise
interference on the network, the operating power of your mobile device is
automatically decreased when full power is not needed for the call. The lower the
power output of the device, the lower its SAR value.
Organisations such as the World Health Organisation and the US Food and Drug
Administration have suggested that if people are concerned and want to reduce their
exposure, they could use a hands-free accessory to keep the wireless device away
from the body during use, or reduce the amount of time spent using the device. For
more information, visit
www.samsung.com/sar and search for your device with the model number.

Operating Environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and always switch
your
Device off whenever it is forbidden to use it, or when it may cause interference
or danger. When connecting the Device or any
accessory to another device, read
its user's guide for detailed safety instructions. Do not connect incompatible
products. As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that
for the satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is
recommended that the equipment should only be used in the normal operating
position.
Using Your Device Near Other Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals
from your wireless Device. Consult the
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of 15 cm (6
inches)
be maintained between a wireless Device
and a pacemaker to avoid
potential interference with the pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with the independent research and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
s
hould always keep the Device more than 15 cm
(
6 inches) from their pacemaker when the
Device is switched on.
should not carry the Device in a breast pocket.
should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize potential interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch
your Device off immediately.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical devices, consult the manufacturer of your
device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information. Switch your
Device off in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment
that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
s
ystems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative
regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment
that has been added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities
Switch your Device
off in any facility where posted notices require you to do so.
Potentially Explosive Environments
Switch your Device off when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and
obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Users are advised to switch the
Device off while at a refueling point (service station).
Users are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio
equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical plants or
where blasting operations are in progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly
marked. They include below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities,
vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), areas where the
air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders, and any
other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
